Pricing questions

Why is most work quoted rather than fixed?

Research effort scales with the question. We give every matter a fixed quote before starting, so you approve the price up front — the tiers above are indicative starting points.

What if the scope changes mid-way?

We flag it immediately and agree any change in scope or price with you before continuing. You are never surprised by an invoice.

Do you offer retainers for chambers?

Yes. Teams with recurring needs can pre-purchase research credits at a preferential rate. Ask us for a chambers plan.
